Almost time to leave
I have until Sunday.  Then I'm back to the frozen wasteland.
I went to Laguna again last night.  Happens a lot.
I went shopping yesterday and today.  I'm really sleepy now. It's only 6.  Not an acceptable bedtime.  I want to watch a movie.  But I don't know what I want or where I want to watch it. Or with whom.
I should probably shower... But I probably won't.
I played with all the kids at my house yesterday.  There were about 13 in my house.  It was insanity.
I got a surprise letter yesterday.  It was nice(:
I;m not sure if I am excited to go back to the place or if I am dreading it.  There are many things I dislike about being there, but I do like the people and I miss Kenz.
I've been eating too much and it's making me start to feel panicky.

Home for the Holidays

Christmas was a blur of family and of hiding from said family.  It was pretty decent.  I got to cook which is always fun.  I didn't get any Christmas presents.  I got to open presents, but they were for the kinect my family got and since I don't live at home they aren't really for me.  I got myself j'adore by Dior though(:  Woot.
Yesterday I woke up and went to my friend Grant's house for breakfast and a movie. It was The Illusionist. Soo good.  I've never seen it before, but it was really good.  It was so pretty!

Then we went downtown so he could shop for important things.  We got some coconut water with chunks and aloe with mango.  The aloe was good, the coconut water... not so much.  The chucks made it bearable.




















Then we went down to the beach.  The water wasn't that cold.  The tide was really low, so we went and looked at all the pier leg things.  They are covered in muscles and barnacles and snails and something we don't know.  It was cool.  I got to see the animal inside a barnacle.

3 Weeks Till Christmas Break
So my parents decided to fly me down for Thanksgiving.  I got to see all the kids.  They are all getting so tall.  For Thanksgiving we had a bunch of family over.  I made homemade cranberry sauce which I only got a little of because I was at the kid table. Kid table = lame. Anyway. I don't know why I got stuck there.
I went to In-n-Out while I was there.  I even had a hamburger.  I know so many calories.  But I did it anyway.

Of course I had to go shopping at a good mall while I was home.  I bought so many things and now have a list of things I want still.  It felt amazing. I even went to Zara<3 Day complete. I did not compete in Black Friday though.

On Thanksgiving day, my brother, dad, aunt, uncle, and I all went to visit family members' graves.  I'm named after my great-grandma, so its always kind of weird to see my name on a headstone...


My brother Ben and I(:

 My little sister had me put make up on her one day.  Usually I have softer,easy to remove make up for her. I forgot it of course.  So we used mine.


On Friday I went on a bike ride with my friend.  We went all throughout the Central Park in my area and looked at all the ducks.  It was super fun!

\
Saturday night I hung out with Dane.  It was the last time I will see him for two years.  He's been called to serve a mission in Colombia.  We had a super fun night.  I'm going to miss him.  A lot. 

The night I had to leave we went out for sushi.  I miss fish and sushi so much.  I ate wayyy too much though. My brother and his friend. 



It was my 9 year old brother's first time.  He didn't like it... haha

And now I am home.  Back in the frozen wasteland.  Its very cold here. Not snowing.  Yet.  My apartment is freezing though! I feel like the cut off the heating for the break.  Rude.

Staycation
This weekend Kenz decided we needed a staycation.  Or any kind of leaving this itty bitty town.  So we got a hotel in the nearest location of civilization.  It was actually really fun.  We got to use their jacuzzi and sauna.  Which meant I got to wear my new swimsuit.  Today we went shopping and last night we went to Olive Garden.  The only bummer of this weekend is that it has finally begun snowing.  Its so terrible.  I am now learning how to drive in snow.  When we first went out this morning, my car door was frozen shut and there was ice all over the windows and mirrors.  I had to actually scrap it off with my ice scraper thing.


STAYCATION!


Our hotel room

The chicken on our balcony.  Hahhahahah



GEESE 

Our hotel had a phone by the toilet....


 We waited at Olive Garden forever.  There were so many people there.  We got a free breadstick while we waited.  That was pretty cool.  We've never had that happen before.

Our waiter took a bite? 

SAUNA 


While we were in civilization, we got Starbucks!  They have their holiday cups!  We were so excited.  It was the perfect thing to drink while the wind blew the snow all over.  
Now we are going to watch the Twilight movies #2 and #3.  Preparing for the next one(: Hahah lame.  We know. Also Immortals is coming out soon.  I AM SO EXCITED.

Grocery shopping expedition
Today we took the 45 minute drive to real civilization in order to go grocery shopping and to go to Target.  We also stopped at a Halloween store, but the prices were ridiculous! So I still have no costume.  Upset.
We went to Red Robins for dinner (yuuummm).  It was pretty good.  We were all out of control stuffed at the end though.





Yuuummmm

Civilization Weekend
So I am visiting my cousin.  I got in late last night.  We shopped alllllllllll day today.  It was good.  I have no money in my account any more.  We went to the famed Park City outlets.  It was amazing.
 We went to the Croc store.  I know its a weird concept that they have a whole store dedicated to the nasty fiends.  Here is a part of the rainbow croc wall. [ew]
I finally got a pair of high-top colorful skater-ish shoes!!
Goal fulfilled


My aunt loves me.  She sent up homemade caramel corn.
Classy
 We got fro yo tonight for only 72 cents! Haha win.  (Totally off topic but I miss the cents symbol.  It was always my favorite.) I have to leave early(ish) tomorrow so I can be home for church.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Oh and there are only 70 days till Christmas.  Just saying'.
